Kiss By A Rose
Chap 6: Story
"HOE! MY ACHING BACK! I WONDER IF I—" wailed Sakura…
The three looked at her when she abruptly stopped talking…
She was staring around the house…
The others followed only to be shocked themselves….
What they found was a nice, clean, neat and non-dusty apartment… well… it was still an apartment six hours ago… just that now it looked better…
"Wow… I didn't know it could look this good…" muttered Eriol.
Sakura smiled knowing that their efforts had not gone to waste…
"Well…. I guess that we can call it a day now… Syaoran and I can take it from here… I thank you very much… Is there anyway we can do to repay you?" said Eriol.
"Ne Eriol-kun… There's no need to repay us… Take it as a welcome gift…" says Tomoyo softly…
"Yep… However, there is something that I hope you will do… Tomorrow is the 'Festival of Fun' at the Tomoeda Orphanage… I was wondering whether you and Syaoran-kun would follow us?" asked Sakura.
"That would be a pleasure Sakura-chan… How about you Xiao Lang?"
"Whatever…" said Syaoran not wanting to look at Sakura, afraid that he would blush seeing her smile…
"YAY! TOMOYO-CHAN! THEY'RE COMING!" squealed Sakura, jumping up and down.
The three smiled gently seeing her contagious smiles and laughter…
-Next day-
As Syaoran, Eriol and Tomoyo waited for Sakura, Tomoyo explained to the two of them why Sakura was late…
"…she's always like that… that's why she's her… hehe… she'll be here soon though…"
As soon as Tomoyo said that, they heard footsteps…
They smiled when they saw a pretty girl with short auburn hair and beautiful emerald-eyes run towards them…
"See… I told you…" said Tomoyo with a wink…
"Hi guys! Sorry I'm late! I kind of overslept…" said Sakura with a guilty grin…
The three sweatdropped seeing her face…
"That's okay Sakura-chan… Come… Lets go!"
"Hai Tomoyo-chan! C'mon!"
Sakura skipped and hummed as she led the group…
'How on earth does she get all that energy…?' thought Syaoran as he glanced at the adorable face…
-Tomoeda Orphanage-
Sakura opened a door with a squirrel on it…
As soon as the four came in, screams and squeals were heard…
Syaoran and Eriol were surprised to find all the children hugging and kissing Sakura and Tomoyo.
'They must be really popular here…' thought the two boys with fond smiles…
"Hello everyone! Is everyone excited about the festival!" laughed Sakura.
"HAI! LETS GO SAKURA-NEE-CHAN AND TOMOYO-NEE-CHAN!" screamed the children pulling their hands…
"Now, now… can't you see we have guests today… lets say hello okay?" said Tomoyo with gentleness…
"Everyone, meet Li Syaoran and Hiirigizawa Eriol…" said Sakura.
"Ohayou Syaoran-san, Eriol-san…"
"Hi everyone!" smiled Eriol.
"Uh…hi…" mumbled Syaoran.
"Ne, Syaoran-san, you're not gonna take sweet Sakura-nee-chan away from us are you?" asked a cute three-year-old girl, tugging on his jeans…
As our S+S blushed, mischevious E+T grinned…
"Uh… no…" said Syaoran.
"How about you Eriol-san? Are you gonna take gentle Tomoyo-nee-chan away from us?" asked the same curious little girl.
With the grins gone, Eriol blushed shaking his head…
"Okay! Yay! Let's go Kura-nee-chan!" squealed the little girl pulling Sakura's skirt.
"Okay! Lets go everyone!"
The guys followed behind taking the girl's words seriously…
'Would I?' they wondered looking at, what they seemed to think, heavenly angels…
"Without a doubt… Count on it… they're not as far as away as you think they are…"
Both boys were shocked… The words seemed to follow with the wind… (A/N): Three guesses who!
-Festival in the backyard-
The place was noisy and packed… Children were everywhere… Playing games, taking rides, listening to stories and watching the mini circus…
Children of the squirrel class squealed with excitement… They pulled the two excited girls as well…
They played games and ate snacks and most of all, had fun…
-Squirrel classroom-
The children were exhausted… Nap time was near…
"Lets read you all a book as a goodbye…"
The children nodded their head sleepily…Sakura picked a book… A book of poems…
"As the winds blow
a girl raised her brow
she heard a crow
a vase she wanted to throw
little did she know
when she wakes tomorrow
a kiss by a rose would blow
by her to show
how love would conquer bow and arrow"
Sakura looked up to find all the children asleep… however, what she didn't understand were the crying eyes of Tomoyo, saddened ones of Eriol and the guiltiness in her would-be-beloved Syaoran's."Guys… are you okay…" asked Sakura in a soft, concerned voice…
They nodded… Their eyes never leaving hers…
"Okay… Let's go…"
As they went their separate ways, they all thought of the poem…
Moved by it, they found themselves praying that the one they cared about eternal happiness and safety… Whether it was them giving it or not…
